Hillary Can't Cut It On Her Own

Really, it's rather sad to see a woman aspire to the most powerful office in the world and admit that she can't make it on her own.

Obama is confronting Bill Clinton for his obfuscations on the stump.

Sen. Barack Obama says he's ready to confront former President Bill Clinton, calling his advocacy on behalf of his wife's presidential campaign, "troubling."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts to air Monday on "Good Morning America," Obama, D-Ill., directly engages Bill Clinton on a series of issues.

So, how does Hillary's Bill's campaign respond? By lying, of course. This woman will set feminism back twenty years. And it isn't only Bill's stumping for Hillary. The fact is, he had to rush in to save her entire campaign from going down in flames. And he brought his entire old crew along for the ride. It's just like when she ran the Hillary-care effort. Hillary Clinton has never acted successfully as an executive in any significant manner. The two major efforts she headed in her career were total failures. There's no reason to believe her entire presidency would be anything else. Unless, of course, she intends to let Bill run that, too.

"We understand Sen. Obama is frustrated by his loss in Nevada, but facts are facts," Wolfson said. "Sen. Obama's allies in Nevada engaged in strongarm tactics and intimidation against our supporters and his record against the war has been inconsistent. President Clinton is a huge asset to our campaign and will continue talking to the American people to press the case for Sen. Clinton.

"Of course Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama are the candidates on the ballot and she is winning because she is giving voice to the Americans who will provide real solutions to the challenges they face in the daily lives," he said.

If McCain and Hillary end up being the nominees, it's going to be a context of the lame versus the lame. Both of them are seriously vulnerable to criticism.

A lot of people (including me) hate McCain for the McCain-Feingold law. A lot of people hate him for organizing the "gang of 14". His position on illegal immigration is going to turn off a lot of people, too.

But if anything, Hillary may be even weaker. "Do we really want to elect Bill Clinton to a third term? I thought we ended that with the 22nd Amendment?" "Hillary is Bill's puppet. She can't even speak without his hand up her back moving her mouth."

Not to mention, "Hillary wanted us to lose in Iraq. She opposed the surge, which is now clearly a success." (It's obviously a success now, and there's every reason to believe it'll be even more of a success by the general election.) Or, "Hillary is making all kinds of claims to executive experience, but her main CV entry is being First Lady."

Oh, Republican advertising execs will rake her over the coals. And there's no candidate the Democrats chould choose who is better able to make disaffected Republicans decide they have to vote for McCain, no matter how distasteful that might be.

Now Obama versus Thompson would be a hell of an interesting campaign, but there's a snowball's chance of that.

Oh, rats. That should have been "a contest of the lame versus the lame", not "context".

"The two major efforts she headed in her career were total failures. There's no reason to believe her entire presidency would be anything else."

Yeah, kind of like how George Bush ran an oil company so far into the ground that the Saudis had to bail him out, and then he ran a baseball team into the ground, and then he engineered an "education miracle" by doing a straight Enron cooking-the-books scam. And then his presidency was, unsurprisingly, a string of even more disasters.

Sadly, just like in preschool, Dan had trouble connecting the dots here.

If he is going to confront Bill--disbarred for perjury--Clinton every time Bill lies, Obama is going to be the busiest man in America.

Recent text from Hill to Obama:

"I'm gonna go get my big brother, and he's gonna beat you up!!"

What is this really goofy thing that happens in America (and Argentina and some other places (remember Evita?) that people can mix up the skills and experience of one spouse with those of the other? A congressman or state legislator dies, for example, and his wife is then elected to the office of the deceased. We have an example of this right now in Florida.

But how much worse it is when we now have the Clintons double-teaming hapless (in this case) Obama? And do we really want ole Bill hanging around the White House press every day his forehead and neck veins popping out sticking his fingers in their faces threatening them for criticizing his poor little spouse Hillary? For God's sake, wake up Democratics.

[Steven Den Beste]

Scar Shaped Star, Hillary isn't going to be running against George Bush. And tu quoque is not a defense.

If we made a mistake on Bush, does that mean we should repeat the mistake with Hillary?

I'm so sick of Barack Hussein Obama complaining that he's not getting a fair shake, same old story when someone is grasping for straws. He's attacked Senator Clinton 98 times in the press. I'm so sick of him saying he can fix everything, education, politicans. I'm waiting for him to say he can walk on water.

He's the son of a Muslim father and step-father and that bothers me. If he's the Democratic choice, I'll vote Republican for the first time in my life.

McCain is too old and for a former POW, he doesn't mind if Pima County, AZ jails round up Mexicans coming over the border and humilate them by dressing them in pink clothes and daily embarress them.

I'm so sick of all the negativity. Only Govenor Romney doesn't say bad things about the others. It doesn't make anyone look good trying to smear someone else. It just makes people not want to vote.

[Johnny Dale]

You're so sick of all the negativity...but yet your voting and defending Billary?

Give it a break!

Having meticulously planned their coveted return to the White House for several years now, the Clintons will certainly not exit the scene with grace or dignity. This is the political duo that honed "The Politics Of Personal Destruction" into an artform; and, most certainly will not tolerate, who is in their mind, the "upstart Obama" to derail Hillary's pre-choreographed coronation.
With regards Slick's comments on Obama's Iraq record; and, the draft dodger's false accusation of flip flopping on the Iraq issue against Obama: It was actually Hillary who was the serial flip-flopper on this issue. Obama to his credit, as a matter of conscience, refused to deny American troops the funding for the bullets and equipment that they required to survive in ongoing combat. Hillary, on the other hand, with no such compelling principles, was one of only two U.S. Senators who voted to deny funding for essential equipments for our troops who they had "previously" voted to commit to lethal combat. A despicable breach of trust with the young men and women laying their lives on the line in defense of our Nation. Obama made the classical rookie error of not responding to Slick's false accusation, which he could have easily turned to Hillary's well deserved detriment
Barrack and his supporters best be prepared for the "Political Lynching" that will rival anything previously witnessed in Presidential politics.
Slick and Hilla-the-Hun, the Perpetual Victim, have repeatedly demonstrated a vicious mud-slinger demeanor that is unprecedented whenever their political dynasty has been threatened in the past. Just ask anyone of their innumerable victims.

I feel bad for Obama. The man is being double teamed against two of the biggest liars/crooks this country has ever seen. Bill "the egomaniac sex addict" Clinton and Queen Billary are ruthless and are spreading false e-mails, lying about Obama's record and using the race card. I know many people have said this, but as a registered Democrat for 15+ years, I will not vote for Hillary. If I have to vote for the McCain (AKA the walking corpse), I'll suck up and do it.

[Bill "Cigar Aficionado" Clinton]

Obama,

Who do you think you are to try to deprive me of my rightful return to the White House? Without all the hassles of pretending to lead the country every day, I could have a non-stop parade of interns to educate on the finer points of power in America. This is MY White House, and no uppity Negro is going to take it away from me. I suffered enough because of those idiots Gore and Kerry not being able to snow the American people the way I could. I am not going another 8 years without my intern fix.

It's time you learn to go to the back of the bus and let a White Woman take the front seat on the bus to the White House.

p.s I'll hook you up with Monica if you back off. I have a new batch lined up anyway.

[David]

where would Hillary be today without Bill? No where. At least, no where near the senate or white house.

Liberated woman, indeed. Riding the coat-tails of her very successful oppressor/husband for all she is worth.

How can N.O.W. endorse this woman? She strategy is exactly opposite of the male-hatred that they routinely preach.
